Unsure how old your revolver is because ALL contemporary S&W revolvers have the same design hammer block. The only way yours wouldn't is for someone to have phyhsically taken it out. I have 3 M-442s and they all have it. Any modern S&W revolver would never be safe without the block unless you did carry with the hammer over an empty charge hole. That's why they are designed as they are.
